DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

ALOX15 is one of five (ALOX5/12/12B/15/15B) human lipoxygenases and is involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acid substrates. 15-HETE is its major arachidonic acid-derived metabolite, which is then further metabolized to eoxins, 5-oxo-15-hydroxy-ETE and other metabolites. ALOX15 metabolites are largely pro-inflammatory and have been shown to induce airway epithelial injury and promote goblet cell hyperplasia/mucus hypersecretion (15-HETE), increase vascular permeability (eoxin C₄) and are potent eosinophil chemoattractants (5-oxo-15-hydroxy-ETE). ALOX15 is highly expressed in circulating blood eosinophils, airway epithelial cells and esophageal squamous epithelial cells and is induced in vitro by IL-13, a central mediator of the Th2 response. Accordingly, therapies as described herein designed to inhibit the production of ALOX15 protein delivered locally to the nasal epithelium, via inhalation to the airway, orally or systemically, can be efficacious in treating eosinophilic diseases of the upper and lower airway, including nasal polyposis, chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis and asthma; and eosinophilic diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract, including eosinophilic esophagitis and eosinophilic gastroenteritis.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” includes both acid and base addition salts. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any one of the compounds described herein is intended to encompass any and all pharmaceutically suitable salt forms. Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein are pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt” refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free bases, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable, and which are formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrofluoric acid, phosphorous acid, and the like. Also included are salts that are formed with organic acids such as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. and include, for example, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like. Exemplary salts thus include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, nitrates, phosphates, monohydrogenphosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, trifluoroacetates, propionates, caprylates, isobutyrates, oxalates, malonates, succinate suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, mandelates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, phthalates, benzenesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, phenylacetates, citrates, lactates, malates, tartrates, methanesulfonates, and the like. Also contemplated are salts of amino acids, such as arginates, gluconates, and galacturonates (see, for example, Berge S. M. et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66:1-19 (1997)). Acid addition salts of basic compounds are prepared by contacting the free base forms with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt” refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. These salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the like. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, for example, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, N,N-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, hydrabamine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, ethylenedianiline, N-methylglucamine, glucosamine, methylglucamine, theobromine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, polyamine resins, and the like.

As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” or “palliating” or “ameliorating” are used interchangeably herein. These terms refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including, but not limited to, therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By “therapeutic benefit” is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient is still afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions are administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease has not been made.

A “prodrug” refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they are easier to administer than the parent drug. They are, for instance, bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. The prodrug may be a substrate for a transporter. Further or alternatively, the prodrug also has improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug is a compound described herein, which is administered as an phosphonooxymethyl derivative (the “prodrug”), but then is metabolically hydrolyzed to provide the active entity. In certain embodiments, upon in vivo administration, a prodrug is chemically converted to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound. In certain embodiments, a prodrug is enzymatically metabolized by one or more steps or processes to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound. In some embodiments, compounds described herein are cleaved by an esterase. In some embodiments, compounds described herein are cleaved by a phosphatase.

Prodrugs described herein include, but are not limited to, esters, ethers, carbonates, thiocarbonates, N-acyl derivatives, N-acyloxyalkyl derivatives, quaternary derivatives of tertiary amines, N-Mannich bases, Schiff bases, amino acid conjugates, phosphate esters, sulfonamides, amides, phosphoramidates and sulfonate esters. See for example Design of Prodrugs, Bundgaard, A. Ed., Elseview, 1985 and Method in Enzymology, Widder, K. et al., Ed.; Academic, 1985, vol. 42, p. 309-396; Bundgaard, H. “Design and Application of Prodrugs” in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krosgaard-Larsen and H.

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions. Pharmaceutical compositions are formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable inactive ingredients that facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations that are used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. A summary of pharmaceutical compositions described herein is found, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Nineteenth Ed. (Easton, Pa.: Mack Publishing Company, 1995); Hoover, John E., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. 1975; Liberman, H. A. and Lachman, L., Eds., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, Marcel Decker, New York, N.Y., 1980; and Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, Seventh Ed. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins 1999), herein incorporated by reference for such disclosure.

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are administered either alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or diluents, in a pharmaceutical composition. Administration of the compounds and compositions described herein can be effected by any method that enables delivery of the compounds to the site of action. These methods include, though are not limited to, delivery via enteral routes (including oral, gastric or duodenal feeding tube, rectal suppository, and rectal enema), parenteral routes (injection or infusion, including intraarterial, intracardiac, intradermal, intraduodenal, intramedullary, intramuscular, intraosseous, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intravascular, intravenous, intravitreal, epidural, and subcutaneous), inhalational, transdermal, transmucosal, sublingual, buccal, and topical (including epicutaneous, dermal, enema, eye drops, ear drops, intranasal, vaginal) administration, although the most suitable route may depend upon for example, the condition and disorder of the recipient. By way of example only, compounds described herein can be administered locally to the area in need of treatment, by local infusion during surgery, topical application such as creams or ointments, injection, catheter, or implant. The administration can also be by direct injection at the site of a diseased tissue or organ.

In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions suitable for oral administration are presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets, or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. In some embodiments, the active ingredient is presented as a bolus, electuary, or paste.

Pharmaceutical compositions which can be used orally include tablets, push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. Tablets may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with binders, inert diluents, or lubricating, surface active or dispersing agents. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. In some embodiments, the tablets are coated or scored and are formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for such administration. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In some embodiments, stabilizers are added. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or Dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.

In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions are formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. The compositions may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in powder form or in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example, saline or sterile pyrogen-free water, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described.

Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous (oily) sterile injection solutions of the active compounds which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents which increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.

Pharmaceutical compositions may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the compounds may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example, as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.

For buccal or sublingual administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets, lozenges, pastilles, or gels formulated in conventional manner. Such compositions may comprise the active ingredient in a flavored basis such as sucrose and acacia or tragacanth.

Pharmaceutical compositions may be administered topically, that is by non-systemic administration. This includes the application of a compound of the present invention externally to the epidermis or the buccal cavity and the instillation of such a compound into the ear, eye and nose, such that the compound does not significantly enter the blood stream. In contrast, systemic administration refers to oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal and intramuscular administration.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin to the site of inflammation such as gels, liniments, lotions, creams, ointments or pastes, and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear or nose. The active ingredient may comprise, for topical administration, from 0.001% to 10% w/w, for instance from 1% to 2% by weight of the formulation.

In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions are formulated for intranasal administration. Potential excipients for intranasal formulations include, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,476,116, 5,116,817 and 6,391,452. Formulations solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, fluorocarbons, and/or other solubilizing or dispersing agents. See, for example, Ansel, H. C. et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, Sixth Ed. (1995). Preferably these compositions and formulations are prepared with suitable nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients. The choice of suitable carriers is highly dependent upon the exact nature of the nasal dosage form desired, e.g., solutions, suspensions, ointments, or gels. Nasal dosage forms generally contain large amounts of water in addition to the active ingredient. Minor amounts of other ingredients such as pH adjusters, emulsifiers or dispersing agents, preservatives, surfactants, gelling agents, or buffering and other stabilizing and solubilizing agents may also be present. Preferably, the nasal dosage form should be isotonic with nasal secretions.

Pharmaceutical compositions for administration by inhalation are conveniently delivered from an insufflator, nebulizer pressurized packs or other convenient means of delivering an aerosol spray. Pressurized packs may comprise a suitable propellant such as dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Alternatively, for administration by inhalation or insufflation, pharmaceutical preparations may take the form of a dry powder composition, for example a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch. The powder composition may be presented in unit dosage form, in for example, capsules, cartridges, gelatin or blister packs from which the powder may be administered with the aid of an inhalator or insufflator.

It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the compounds and compositions described herein may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.

Generally, an agent, such as a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (II), (IIa), (IIb), (III), (IIIa), or (IIIb), is administered in an amount effective for amelioration of, or prevention of the development of symptoms of, the disease or disorder (i.e., a therapeutically effective amount). Thus, a therapeutically effective amount can be an amount that is capable of at least partially preventing or reversing a disease or disorder. The dose required to obtain an effective amount may vary depending on the agent, formulation, disease or disorder, and individual to whom the agent is administered.

Determination of effective amounts may also involve in vitro assays in which varying doses of agent are administered to cells in culture and the concentration of agent effective for ameliorating some or all symptoms is determined in order to calculate the concentration required in vivo. Effective amounts may also be based in in vivo animal studies.

An agent can be administered prior to, concurrently with, and subsequent to the appearance of symptoms of a disease or disorder. In some embodiments, an agent is administered to a subject with a family history of the disease or disorder, or who has a phenotype that may indicate a predisposition to a disease or disorder, or who has a genotype which predisposes the subject to the disease or disorder.

Oral doses typically range from about 1.0 mg to about 1000 mg, one to four times, or more, per day.

Disclosed compounds are administered to patients (mammals) in need of such treatment in dosages that will provide optimal pharmaceutical efficacy. It will be appreciated that the dose required for use in any particular application will vary from patient to patient, not only with the particular compound or composition selected, but also with the route of administration, the nature of the condition being treated, the age and condition of the patient, concurrent medication or special diets then being followed by the patient, and other factors, with the appropriate dosage ultimately being at the discretion of the attendant physician. For treating clinical conditions and diseases noted above, a contemplated compound disclosed herein is administered orally, subcutaneously, topically, parenterally, by inhalation spray, or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles. Parenteral administration includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous or intramuscular injections or infusion techniques.

Also contemplated herein are combination therapies, for example, co-administering a disclosed compound and an additional active agent, as part of a specific treatment regimen intended to provide the beneficial effect from the co-action of these therapeutic agents. The beneficial effect of the combination includes, but is not limited to, pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic co-action resulting from the combination of therapeutic agents. Administration of these therapeutic agents in combination typically is carried out over a defined time period (usually weeks, months, or years depending upon the combination selected). Combination therapy is intended to embrace administration of multiple therapeutic agents in a sequential manner, that is, wherein each therapeutic agent is administered at a different time, as well as administration of these therapeutic agents, or at least two of the therapeutic agents, in a substantially simultaneous manner.

Substantially simultaneous administration is accomplished, for example, by administering to the subject a single formulation or composition, (e.g., a tablet or capsule having a fixed ratio of each therapeutic agent or in multiple, single formulations (e.g., capsules) for each of the therapeutic agents. Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent is effected by any appropriate route including, but not limited to, oral routes, intravenous routes, intramuscular routes, and direct absorption through mucous membrane tissues. The therapeutic agents are administered by the same route or by different routes. For example, a first therapeutic agent of the combination selected is administered by intravenous injection while the other therapeutic agents of the combination are administered orally. Alternatively, for example, all therapeutic agents are administered orally or all therapeutic agents are administered by intravenous injection.

Combination therapy also embraces the administration of the therapeutic agents as described above in further combination with other biologically active ingredients and non-drug therapies. Where the combination therapy further comprises a non-drug treatment, the non-drug treatment is conducted at any suitable time so long as a beneficial effect from the co-action of the combination of the therapeutic agents and non-drug treatment is achieved. For example, in appropriate cases, the beneficial effect is still achieved when the non-drug treatment is temporally removed from the administration of the therapeutic agents, perhaps by days or even weeks.

The components of the combination are administered to a patient simultaneously or sequentially. It will be appreciated that the components are present in the same pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, therefore, are administered simultaneously. Alternatively, the active ingredients are present in separate pharmaceutical carriers, such as conventional oral dosage forms, that are administered either simultaneously or sequentially.

5-chloro-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (5 g) in a 250 mL round-bottom flask was dissolved in thionyl chloride (50 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was heated at 90° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and the excess thionyl chloride was removed by rotary evaporation. The resulting acid chloride (compound 1) was dissolved in methylene chloride (100 mL). To this solution was added 2-chloro-4-fluoroaniline (7.45 g, 1.5 mole eq) in methylene chloride (100 mL) followed by triethyl amine (10.35 g, 3 mole eq). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was then quenched by addition of water (100 mL). The organic layer was collected and concentrated to produce a viscous oil, which was triturated with pentane. The triturated product (compound 2) (7.5 g) was dissolved in glacial acetic acid (150 mL) and N-chlorosuccinimide (5.5 g, 1.5 mole eq) was added. The reaction solution was heated at 90° C. for 3 hours. The reaction solution was cooled and quenched by the addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (500 mL). The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×150 mL) and the combined ethyl acetate fractions were dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated to produce an oil. The oil was triturated with pentane to afford 4,5-dichloro-N-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (compound 3) (5.3 g). ¹H NMR (DMSO-d₆, 400 MHz) δ 14.54 (s, 1H), 9.73 (s, 1H), 7.87 (dd, 1H, J=5.9, 8.5 Hz), 7.59 (dd, 1H, J=2.3, 8.3 Hz), 7.30 (ddd, 1H, J=2.3, 8.3, 8.5 Hz).

Example 2: Synthesis of (4,5-dichloro-3-((2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)carbamoyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl dihydrogen phosphate (5)

4,5-Dichloro-N-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (3) (0.5 g) was dissolved in THE (5 mL). To this solution was added 1.6 g of cesium carbonate (3 mole eq) followed by di-tert-butyl (chloromethyl) phosphate (0.5 g, 1.5 mole eq). The mixture was heated to 80° C. for 20 hours. The reaction was then stopped by the addition of water (20 mL) and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford di-tert-butyl ((4,5-dichloro-3-((2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)carbamoyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl) phosphate (compound 4) (230 mg).

A solution of di-tert-butyl ((4,5-dichloro-3-((2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)carbamoyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl) phosphate (compound 4) (230 mg) in dichloromethane (2.5 mL) and TFA (70 μL) was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and TFA was quenched by addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were concentrated to produce oil which was triturated with pentane to afford (4,5-dichloro-3-((2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)carbamoyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl dihydrogen phosphate (compound 5) (110 mg). ¹H NMR (DMSO-d₆, 400 MHz) δ 9.98 (s, 1H), 7.75 (dd, 1H), 7.56 (dd, 1H), 7.27 (ddd, 1H), 5.87 (d, 2H).

Example 3: Phosphatase Treatment of Compound 5

To determine if there was effect of addition phosphatase to the phosphate, 30 units of alkaline phosphatase (EMD Millipore Phosphatase, Alkaline, Calf Intestine catalog number 524572) was added to compound 5 and the UV spectrum (210-600 nm) was measured before and after addition of phosphatase. The was a shift in the absorbance maximum from 250 to 260 nm. The ratio of 250/260 went from 0.924 to 1.067 after phosphatase treatment.

Phosphatase treatment was repeated with 0.1 unit of phosphatase (56 ug) and 0.6 mM compound 5 at a volume of 100 uL (100 mM Tris pH 8.8, 5 mM MgCl₂) and monitored as function of time. The half-life of the reaction was 2 minutes, meaning that the phosphatase cleaved the phosphate at a rate of 0.015 μmol/min. A unit is defined as the amount that can hydrolyze 1 μmol/min of p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNP). Meaning that 0.1 unit of enzyme was hydrolyzing 0.015 units of phosphate: a ˜6.6 fold decrease in activity relative to PNP.

Example 4: Recombinant Human ALOX15 Assay Generation of Stock Solutions:

5 mM of compound 5 in 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer pH 8.6 and 1 mM MgCl₂ was treated by the addition of 0.1 unit of alkaline phosphatase (Alkaline, Calf Intestine EMD Millipore catalog number 524572). Within a minute of phosphatase addition, a white precipitate appeared. The enzymatic reaction was quenched and precipitate (presumably compound 3) was dissolved by the addition of 2 volume equivalents of DMSO to yield 1.66 mM solution. Three solutions were generated: compound 3, compound 5 with phosphatase treatment, and compound 5 without phosphatase treatment.

Lipoxygenase Enzyme Assay:

Lipoxygenase activity was measured in black 384-plates from Corning (#3711) in quadruplicate. To each well in a 384-well plate, the following were added: 15 μL of human lipoxygenase (Genway ALOX15 Active Human Recombinant Protein, GWB-6672E3) diluted in PBS at 3.18 μg/mL or PBS alone and 15 nL of 66% DMSO or compound dissolved in 66% DMSO. This mixture was incubated for 5 min before the addition of 1.5 μL 0.2 mM arachidonic acid. The plate was then incubated at room temperature for 10 min before the reaction was terminated with 2 volumes (30 μL) of 1:1 methanol:DMSO containing 0.125 mM diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine (DPPP). Fluorescence was measured after 30 min (excitation filter 330/30 nm, and emission filter 385/35 nm using a ClarioStar plate reader).

The relative activity of ALOX15 as a function of [compound 3] and [compound 5] was calculated by the following equation:

(I−I_(blank))/(I_(ALOX)−I_(blank))

Where I is the fluorescent intensity at each concentration, I_(blank) is the intensity in the absence of ALOX15 and I_(ALOX) is the intensity observed in the absence of inhibitor. A plot of the relative ALOX15 activity as a function of inhibitor concentration resulted in IC₅₀ values of 36 nM for compound 3 and 32 nM for phosphatase-treated compound 5. No inhibition was observed for compound 5 in the absence of treatment with phosphatase.

The absorbance change (from 250 to 260 nm) shown in Example 3 and the dependence of ALOX15 inhibition on phosphatase treatment shown in Example 4 above are consistent with a mechanism of compound 3 generation upon enzymatic hydrolysis of compound 5 followed by spontaneous hydrolysis of the methylene spacer.

Example 5: Phosphatase Treatment of Compound 5 and Conversion to Compound 3

To monitor the product of phosphatase treatment, compound 5 at 1 M was incubated at 37° C. with alkaline phosphatase (Merck) at 10 or 0.1 mU/ml for 15 minutes. Levels of compound 3 were analyzed by LC-MS/MS.

As shown in FIG. 1, compound 3 molecular ion is generated upon exposure of compound 5 to sufficient quantities of alkaline phosphatase.

Example 6: Solubility Assessment of Compound 5 as Free Phosphoric Acid

Water was added slowly to 4.7 mg of compound 5 until 4.7 ml of water was added at which point the phosphate fully dissolved. The pH of the solution was estimated using litmus paper and estimated to be <3. Without a counterion, the molecular weight of the phosphate is 418 m. Therefore, at 1 mg/ml, the concentration is 2.4 mM.

For comparison, compound 3 is soluble to 0.4 μg/ml (Han et al FASEB J. 2017 31(2):491-504), which at a molecular weight of 308 is 1.3 μM. Therefore, the addition of the phosphoric acid group to compound 3 results in a ˜1800 fold increase in water solubility.

The stock of phosphate was diluted to 0.1 mg/mL and the UV absorbance spectrum was measured from 210 to 600 nm. The maximum absorbance of 0.156 was at 250 nm. From a pathlength of nanodrop (1 mm), the extinction coefficient at 250 nm is 6,520 M cm⁻¹.

Solubility of Compound 5 as Disodium Salt:

Compound 5 was suspended in water (at weight to give a final concentration of 10 mM) and then 2 eq NaHCO₃ was added. The cloudy suspension gives an immediate clear solution on shaking and a further 4-fold increase in solubility as a sodium salt (7,200 fold increase in water solubility above compound 3).

Example 7: Inhibition of 15-Lipoxygenase in Human Primary Eosinophils

In this experiment, inhibition of 15-lipoxygenase was performed in primary peripheral blood eosinophils, to evaluate the effect on arachidonic acid metabolite production. Primary peripheral blood eosinophils from 2 separate donors (StemExpress) were thawed from frozen and allowed to recover in growth media for 4 hours at 37° C. Cells were washed with Hank's Balanced Salt Solution, then aliquoted into 96 well round bottomed plate at 1*10⁵ cells/well, 200 μL/well. Cells were treated with either 10 μM compound 3, 10 μM compound 5 or 10 μM compound 5+0.2 U alkaline phosphatase (ALP) pretreated for 15 minutes. Arachidonic acid was added to final concentration of 3 μM and experiment started. At 1 hour post-treatment the supernatant was collected and 15(S)-HETE was quantified by ELISA (Cayman Chemical) according to manufacturer's recommended protocol. Comparisons were made between the cells treated with the test compounds and cells treated with vehicle only. As shown in FIG. 2, treatment with compound 3 or compound 5 results in approximately 40% decrease in 15-HETE production compared to vehicle or ALP alone. Treatment with compound 5 that has been pretreated with ALP results in approximately 60% decrease in 15-HETE production compared to vehicle or ALP alone. The effect of compound 5 that has not been pretreated with ALP can be attributed to enzymatic hydrolysis of phosphate ester by endogenous phosphatases.

Example 8: Inhibition of 15-Lipoxygenase in Human Cells

In this experiment, inhibition of 15-lipoxygenase is performed in primary human nasal epithelial cells (pHNEC) and primary peripheral blood eosinophils, to evaluate the effect on arachidonic acid metabolite production.

Primary human nasal epithelial cells (pHNEC) and primary peripheral blood eosinophils induced for 24 hours with 20 ng/mL IL13 are treated with 10 μM of a test compound, or vehicle only (DMSO) for 5 minutes prior to the addition of 10 uM arachidonic acid. At 2 hours post-treatment the supernatant is collected and arachidonic acid metabolites of 15-lipoxygenase including prostaglandin E2, cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, D4, and E4), and 15(S)-HETE are quantified by ELISA (Cayman Chemical) according to manufacturer's recommended protocol. Comparisons are made between the groups treated with the test compounds and cells treated with vehicle only.

Example 9: Inhibition of 15-Lipoxygenase in a Murine Model for Nasal Polyposis

In this experiment, a murine model of nasal polyposis is used to evaluate the effect of inhibition of 15-lipoxygenase. The murine model consists of inducing chronic rhinitis with ovalbumin (OVA) treatment, followed by a combination of ovalbumin and Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) treatment leading to nasal polyp formation. This model has characteristics of the human disease.

2-week-old female BALB/c mice are obtained from Charles River Laboratories. The animals are kept in environmentally controlled rooms under specific pathogen-free conditions (temperature, 20-26° C.); humidity, 30-70%) with a 12-hour light-dark cycle for 2 weeks before use. Food and water are available ad libitum. All animals are used in accordance with animal care guidelines.

Nasal polyposis is induced in age-matched (4-week-old) mice divided into five groups. Group A (n=5) is a control group in which mice are treated with neither reagent nor surgery. For groups B-E (n=5 for each), mice are sensitized with an intraperitoneal injection of 25 ug of OVA plus 2 mg of aluminum hydroxide on days 0 and 7. From Day 14 to Day 20 mice are nasally challenged daily with 6% OVA. From Day 20, 6% OVA+Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (10 ng) is instilled into the nasal cavity of mice three times per week for 8 weeks.

From week 4, animals in groups B-E receive 10 ul of 1 mg/mL of a test compound (groups B-D) or vehicle only (1 part DMSO, 9 parts PBS) (group E) three times a week for 4 weeks. Anesthesia during intranasal administration is achieved with intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 ml nembutal (5 mg/ml).

At the end of eight weeks of OVA+SEB and inhibitor treatment, mice are euthanized by cervical dislocation following injection of 0.3 ml nembutal. Nasal cavity samples are prepared using a large scalpel to remove the snout with a transverse cut behind the back molars. The external nares are flushed with PBS to wash out any blood within the nasal cavity. Histologic quantification of the number of nasal polyps and the amount of eosinophil infiltration is performed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of the nasal cavity. The number of polyps and amount of eosinophilic infiltration is compared between all groups. Additionally, nasal mucosa is removed using a small curette after bisecting the nasal tissue sagitally along the nasal septum. Cell lysates are prepared using a RIPA buffer, and these lysates are used to measure arachidonic acid metabolites of 15-lipoxygenase including prostaglandin E2, cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, D4, and E4), and 15(S)-HETE. The metabolites are quantified by ELISA (Cayman Chemical) according to manufacturer's recommended protocol. Comparisons are made between the control group, groups treated with the test compounds and the group treated with vehicle only.

Example 10: Inhibition of 15-Lipoxygenase in a Rabbit Model for Nasal Polyposis

In this experiment, a rabbit model of nasal polyposis is used to evaluate the effect of inhibition of 15-lipoxygenase. In the rabbit model eosinophilic nasal polyps are induced by eliciting an allergic reaction in animals with ovalbumin (OVA) and poly-L-arginine treatment. This model has characteristics of the human disease.

Male New Zealand white rabbits are obtained from Charles River Laboratories. The animals are kept in environmentally controlled rooms under specific pathogen-free conditions (temperature, 20-26° C.); humidity, 30-70%) with a 12-hour light-dark cycle for 2 weeks before use. Food and water are available ad libitum. All animals are used in accordance with animal care guidelines.

Maxillary sinusitis is induced in age-matched (13-week-old) rabbits divided into five groups. Group A (n=4) is a control group in which rabbits are treated with neither reagent nor surgery. For groups B-E (n=6 for each), rabbits are sensitized by subcutaneous injection with 1 mL of saline containing 2.5% OVA plus 0.4% alum on days 0 and 7. On day 14, under anesthesia with i.v. injection of 25 mg/kg of pentobarbital sodium (Nembutal, Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma, Osaka, Japan), nasal dorsa are incised to expose maxillary sinus cavities and both sides of the ostia were occluded with plugs of sterile cotton wool and butylcyanoacrylate tissue glue (Histoacryl; B. Braun, Melsungen AG, Germany) under a microscope. After 2 weeks of wound closure, OVA is administered into both sides of the maxillary sinuses (0.5 mL/sinus of 2.5% OVA in saline, three times a week for 2 weeks). Thereafter, the animals in groups B-D receive 5 mg/mL poly-L-arginine in saline three times a week for 4 weeks.

After induction of maxillary sinusitis with OVA and poly-L-arginine, the animals receive 100 ul of 1 mg/mL of a test compound (groups B-D) or vehicle only (1 part DMSO, 9 parts PBS) (group E) three times a week for 4 weeks. One week after the last administration into the maxillary sinus, the rabbits are sacrificed by i.v. injection of pentobarbital sodium and the anterior nasal region with the attached bone, excluding the ocular bulb, is dissected. The mucosal tissues for gene analysis are collected from the right side of the maxillary sinus and stored in RNAlater RNA stabilization reagent (Ambion, Austin, Tex.) at 4° C. until analysis. The left side of the maxillary sinus is used for histopathological analysis. Anesthesia for administration of the test compounds is achieved with intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 ml nembutal (5 mg/ml).

Antibodies to OVA are measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Blood samples are collected from the pinna vein on day 13 to measure OVA-specific IgG levels. ELISA is performed according to the protocol of a previous study. The titers of samples are calculated by comparison with internal standard serum, prepared from the rabbits immunized with 2.5% OVA plus 0.4% alum eight times. The value of this standard is arbitrarily calculated as 10,000 U/ml.

Histopathological analysis of nasal tissue is carried out on tissue fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin solution for 1 week, decalcified in 0.5 mol/L of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid at 37° C., embedded in paraffin, and cut into 2-μm-thick sections. After hematoxylin-eosin staining, histopathological analysis is performed by selecting a representative field of mucosa per sinus where the most prominent change is detected with 200× magnification. The number of eosinophils and the area of mucosa in each field are measured to calculate the density of eosinophils (cells/mm2). The width of the lamina propria (μm) is measured as an indirect indication of mucosal hypertrophy. The degree of polyp formation is graded semiquantitatively according to the following score: 0=little or no polyp formation detected; 1=slight (slight prominence of mucosa); 2=moderate (polyp of a size from one-quarter to one-half of the field); 3=severe (polyp of a size more than one-half of the field).

Example 11: Inhibition of 15-Lipoxygenase in Human Primary Eosinophils with Short-Term Exposure

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of short-term exposure of compound 3 and compound 5 on the levels of 15-HETE (a 15-lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid) in primary peripheral blood eosinophils.

Two independent experiments were performed in which primary peripheral blood eosinophils (StemExpress) were thawed from frozen and allowed to recover in growth media for 4 hours at 37° C. Cells were washed with Hank's Balanced Salt Solution, then aliquoted into 5 mL glass tubes 5*104 cells/tube, 300 μL/tube. Cells were treated with either 10 μM compound 3, 10 μM compound 5, or vehicle (DMSO) for 30 minutes. Arachidonic acid was added to final concentration of 3 μM and experiment started. At 5 minutes post-treatment, the entire reaction was quenched with an equal volume of extraction buffer (methanol, 60 mM ascorbic acid, 0.1% acetic acid) and 15-HETE quantified. Briefly, 15-HETE was quantified using LC-MS/MS (QTrap5500, Applied Biosystems). Q1/Q3 masses: 319.10/219.10 for 15-HETE. Deuterated 15-HETE (Cayman Chemical) was used as the internal standard. The Q1/Q3 masses are 327.10/184.10 Da for the 15-HETE deuterated standard. Oxidized fatty acids were extracted using liquid/liquid extraction with acetonitrile as a diluent. Reverse chromatography was performed using a Unison UK-C18 column (Imtakt, 50×3 mm i.d., 3 μm, PN: UK-032) using a water/acetonitrile gradient containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide and 0.1% formic acid.

Comparisons were made between the cells treated with the test compounds and cells treated with vehicle only. As summarized in FIG. 3, Experiment 1 showed cells treated with compound 3 had 58% less 15-HETE relative to cells treated with vehicle only, while treatment of cells with compound 5 had approximately 79% less 15-HETE relative to cells treated with vehicle only. In Experiment 2, compound 3 treatment reduced 15-HETE by 33% relative to cells treated with vehicle only, while treatment of cells with compound 5 had 63% less 15-HETE relative to cells treated with vehicle only.

Example 12: Lowering of ALOX15 Metabolite Levels, and ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA Expression, after Administration of Compound 5 in an In Vitro Primary Human Nasal Epithelial Cell Model

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of continuous exposure of compound 5 on the levels of ALOX15 products (13-HODE and 15-HETE) and expression of ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA in a human nasal epithelial primary cell model over the course of three days.

Human nasal epithelial primary cells (HNEpC) (PromoCell GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) were cultured according to the manufacturer in provided Primary Cell media in 24 well plates at a density of 25,000 cells per well. Cells were treated with 5 μM or 1 μM of compound 5 or vehicle only (water) in media containing 20 ng/mL IL-13 for 24 hours in a 37° C. cell culture incubator. The following day, media was replaced and fresh media containing 20 ng/mL IL-13 and compound 5 or vehicle was added to each well, then incubated again for 24 hours in a 37° C. cell culture incubator. The process was repeated once more for a 24-hour period.

To determine levels of arachidonic acid and linoleic acid metabolites after compound treatment, cell media was replaced with fresh Primary Cell media without IL-13. ALOX15 substrate (arachidonic acid or linoleic acid) was added to each well at a concentration of 1.5 μM and cells further incubated 37° C. for 1 hour. Media was collected from each well and quenched with an equal volume of LC/MS extraction buffer (methanol, 60 mM ascorbic acid, 0.1% acetic acid).

15-HETE and 13-HODE were quantified using LC-MS/MS (QTrap5500, Applied Biosystems). Q1/Q3 masses: 319.10/219.10 for 15-HETE and 295.10/195.10 Da for 13-HODE. Deuterated 15-HETE (Cayman Chemical) was used as the internal standard. The Q1/Q3 masses are 327.10/184.10 Da for the 15-HETE deuterated standard. Oxidized fatty acids were extracted using liquid/liquid extraction with acetonitrile as a diluent. Reverse chromatography was performed using a Unison UK-C18 column (Imtakt, 50×3 mm i.d., 3 μm, PN: UK-032) using a water/acetonitrile gradient containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide and 0.1% formic acid. Cells treated with compound 5 produced less 15-HETE and 13-HODE than cells treated with vehicle alone as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, respectively.

From the quenched media samples, compound 5 and compound 3 were also quantified. Compound 3 was quantified using LC-MS/MS (QTrap5500, Applied Biosystems). Q1/Q3 masses: 306.00/135.00 using a deschloro derivative of compound 3 (lacking chlorine at 4 position of pyrazole ring) as an internal standard. The Q1/Q3 masses are 272.00/101.00 Da for the internal standard. Compound 3 was extracted using liquid/liquid extraction with methanol as a diluent. Reverse chromatography was performed using a Unison C18 column (Imtakt, 50×2 mm i.d., 3 μm, PN: UK-022) using a water/acetonitrile gradient containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide. Compound 5 was quantified using LC-MS/MS (QTrap5500, Applied Biosystems). Q1/Q3 masses: 418.00/79.00 Da. Fosphenytoin was used as an internal standard. The Q1/Q3 masses are 361.00/79.00 Da for the internal standard. Compound 5 was extracted using liquid/liquid extraction with acetonitrile as a diluent. Reverse chromatography was performed using a Unison C18 column (Imtakt, 50×2 mm i.d., 3 μm, PN: UK-022) using a water/acetonitrile gradient containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide. As shown in FIG. 6 the majority of compound 5 was converted to compound 3.

ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA levels were measured by RT-qPCR. After removal of cell media, HNEpCs were removed from the wells by enzymatic treatment using 1×TrypLE (ThermoFisher). Cells were then washed twice with cold 1×PBS and cell RNA isolated and cDNA synthesized using TaqMan Fast Advanced Cells-to-Ct Kit (ThermoFisher). The level of ALOX15 mRNA from each sample was measured in triplicate by real-time qPCR on an Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR machine using the TaqMan Gene Expression Assay for human ALOX15 (ThermoFisher, assay #Hs00993765_g1). The level of PPIA mRNA was measured in biplex reactions using TaqMan Gene Expression Assay (ThermoFisher, assay #Hs99999904_ml) and used to determine relative ALOX15 mRNA levels in each well using the delta-delta Ct method. All data were normalized to relative ALOX15 mRNA levels in samples from cells treated with vehicle only. Relative POSTN mRNA levels were measured as above using TaqMan Gene Expression Assay specific for human POSTN mRNA (ThermoFisher, assay #Hs00170815_m1). The results are shown in FIG. 7. Relative levels of ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA in cells treated with compound 5 were lower than the levels from cells treated with vehicle.

Example 13: Lowering of 15-HETE Levels, and ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA Expression, after Nasal Administration of Compound 5 in a Rabbit Model of Inflammation

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of repeat nasal administration of compound 5 on the level of 15-HETE and expression of ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA in the nasal tissues of rabbits after intranasal administration of IL4 and IL13 over the course of one day. POSTN is a known biomarker for the Th2 cytokine inflammation that is characteristic of eosinophilic nasal polyps.

Six (6) female NZW rabbits were employed in this study. Rabbits were obtained from Covance (Denver Pa.). Rabbits were between approximately 10 and 12 months of age at the time of study start. At time point 0, all animals received 50 μL of solution containing rabbit IL4 (RND Systems/Biotechne) and human IL13 (PreproTech) at a concentration of 0.25 mg/mL each in 0.5×PBS containing 12.5 mg/mL BSA per nostril. This was administered intranasally via a venous catheter attached to a micropipette. The animal was positioned in a supine manner and the venous catheter inserted into the nostril. The volume was introduced into the nasal cavity and the same procedure was repeated with the other nostril.

At the 2, 4, and 6 hour time points, animals in Group 1 (n=3) received 0.2 mL of vehicle (0.9% saline) per nostril and the animals in Group 2 (n=3) received 0.2 mL of compound 5 (10 mM) in vehicle per nostril. The dosing of vehicle and compound 5 proceed as follows: The animal was positioned in a supine manner in a restraint bag and a mucosal atomization device (MAD) attached to the pre-filled tuberculin syringe was inserted into the nostril and introduced into the nasal cavity. The same procedure was repeated with the other nostril.

At the 8 hour time point, all the nostrils of all animals were lavaged with 1 mL of 0.9% saline per nostril and the resulting fluid collected. Intranasal lavages were performed as follows: The animals were held sternally in a restraint bag with the head over the edge of the table and the rear of the animal elevated higher than the head. A flexible venous catheter was inserted in the nostril until resistance was felt. The 1 mL of saline was introduced through the catheter into the nasal cavity. The nasal lavage returned from the nostril was collected via a funnel into a conical tube and the approximate volume recorded. This procedure was repeated for the other nostril. The lavage was stored at approximately −70° C. until analysis. Following (<10 minutes) the 8 hour time point lavage, blood was collected from all animals, processed to serum, and frozen at approximately −70° C. until analysis.

Animals were then euthanized and nasal mucosa was collected. A total of 4 areas within the nasal cavities were sampled for mucosal tissue from each animal. They were: left rostral area; left caudal area; right rostral area; and right caudal area. The skin was removed from the skull and the skull initially separated into a rostral section and a caudal section along a transverse plane. The left and the right nasal cavities were exposed using scissors or a scalpel blade. A scalpel or microspatula was used to scrape mucosal tissue from the left and right nasal passages. Tissues from the left and right nasal cavities were collected separately. The resulting tissue from each nostril was minced together then divided in two. Once piece was placed in 600 μL RNAlater and stored at approximately 4° C. overnight before being moved for longer term storage at approximately −20° C. until analysis. The other piece was flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at approximately −70° C. until analysis.

Nasal lavage and serum samples were analyzed for the levels of compound 3 and compound 5. Frozen tissue samples were weighed (20-120 mg) and placed into 2 mL CK14 homogenizing tubes (Bertin) and 500 μL of methanol containing 1 mM butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) and 1 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) was added. The tubes were placed in a Precellys 24 tissue homogenizer (Bertin) and run at 6000 rpm six times for 20 seconds with a 10 second pause between cycles. The tubes containing the homogenized tissue were then placed in a microfuge and centrifuged for 5′ at 14,000 rpm to pellet any insoluble material. Compound 3 was quantified using LC-MS/MS (QTrap5500, Applied Biosystems). Q1/Q3 Masses: 306.00/135.00 using a deschloro derivative of compound 3 (lacking chlorine at 4 position of pyrazole ring) as an internal standard. The Q1/Q3 Masses are 272.00/101.00 Da for the internal standard. Compound 3 was extracted using liquid/liquid extraction with methanol as a diluent. Reverse chromatography was performed using a Unison C18 column (Imtakt, 50×2 mm i.d., 3 mm, PN: UK-022) using a water/acetonitrile gradient containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide. Compound 5 was quantified using LC-MS/MS (QTrap5500, Applied Biosystems). Q1/Q3 Masses: 418.00/79.00 Da. Fosphenytoin was used as an internal standard. The Q1/Q3 Masses are 361.00/79.00 Da for the internal standard. Compound 5 was extracted using liquid/liquid extraction with acetonitrile as a diluent. Reverse chromatography was performed using a Unison C18 column (Imtakt, 50×2 mm i.d., 3 mm, PN: UK-022) using a water/acetonitrile gradient containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide. The results are shown in FIG. 8. Compound 5 was detected in the lavage samples from Group 2 animals (rabbit 1, rabbit 2, rabbit 3) and ranged in average concentration from 0.016 uM-0.35 uM. Compound 3 was also detected in all the lavage samples from Group 2 animals and ranged in average concentration from 0.89 uM-3.1 uM. As shown in FIG. 8, the majority of compound 5 was converted to compound 3. There was no quantifiable compound 5 or compound 3 in the any of the serum samples.

The nasal mucosal tissue samples were analyzed for 15-HETE and total 15-HETE, including esterified 15-HETE. The amount of 15-HETE in the tissue supernatant was quantified using LC-MS/MS (QTrap5500, Applied Biosystems). The Q1/Q3 Masses for 15-HETE were 319.10/219.10. Deuterated 15-HETE (Cayman Chemical) was used as the internal standards. The Q1/Q3 Masses were 327.10/184.10 Da for the 15-HETE deuterated standard. Oxidized fatty acids were extracted using liquid/liquid extraction with acetonitrile as a diluent. Reverse chromatography was performed using a Unison UK-C18 column (Imtakt, 50×3 mm i.d., 3 mm, PN: UK-032) using a water/acetonitrile gradient containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide and 0.1% formic acid. The results are shown in FIG. 9. Mean 15-HETE levels in the nasal mucosa from the rostral and caudal regions from rabbits treated with compound 5 were lower than those in the same regions from rabbits treated with vehicle.

In order to extract total 15-HETE including esterified 15-HETE, 100 uL of the tissue supernatant used to measure 15-HETE levels was subjected to hydrolysis conditions by addition of 100 uL of 100 mM sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in water. The samples were then incubated at room temperature for 3 hours followed by addition of 100 uL of 200 mM ascorbic acid in water. The samples treated with NaOH were then assayed for 15-HETE using the methods for LC-MS/MS as described above. The amount of esterified 15-HETE was calculated by subtracting the amount of 15-HETE in untreated supernatant from the amount of 15-HETE from the supernatants treated with NaOH. The results are shown in FIG. 10. Mean esterified 15-HETE levels in the nasal mucosa from the rostral and caudal regions from rabbits treated with compound 5 were lower than those in the same regions from rabbits treated with vehicle.

Relative ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA levels in nasal mucosa were measured by RT-qPCR. Nasal mucosal tissues were recovered from RNAlater and added to 2 mL CK14 homogenizing tubes (Bertin) containing 400 uL homogenization solution (Maxwell RSC simplyRNA Tissue Kit, Promega). The tubes were placed in a Precellys 24 tissue homogenizer (Bertin) and run at 5500 rpm two times for 10 seconds with a 10 second pause between cycles. The tubes containing the homogenized mucosal tissue were then placed in a microfuge and centrifuged for 5′ at 14,000 rpm to pellet any insoluble material. The supernatant (200 uL) was placed in a fresh tube and total RNA recovered using the Maxwell RSC simplyRNA Tissue Kit (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The RNA (approximately 150 ng per sample) was reverse transcribed using the Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for RT-qPCR (ThermoFisher) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The level of ALOX15 or POSTN mRNA from each sample was measured in triplicate by real-time qPCR on an Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR machine using the TaqMan Gene Expression Assay for rabbit ALOX15 (ThermoFisher, assay #Oc03823548_s1). The level of GAPDH mRNA was measured in biplex reactions using TaqMan Gene Expression Assay (ThermoFisher, assay #Oc03823402_g1) and used to determine relative ALOX15 mRNA levels in each well using the delta-delta Ct method. All data were normalized to relative ALOX15 mRNA levels in samples from rabbits treated with vehicle only. Relative POSTN mRNA levels were measured as above using TaqMan Gene Expression Assay specific for rabbit POSTN mRNA (ThermoFisher, assay #Oc06804808_s1). The results are shown in FIG. 11. Relative levels of ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA in the nasal mucosa from both the rostral and caudal regions from rabbits treated with compound 5 were lower than the levels from the same regions from rabbits treated with vehicle. These results are consistent with the in vitro results shown in Example 8, where compound 5 inhibited ALOX15 and POSTN mRNA in primary human nasal epithelial cells.
